SEMPÈ JEAN-JACQUES
MARTIN PEBBLE is a timeless, touching and humorous book that brings to life the adventures of a little boy who blushes a lot, and who is happiest in the summer, when everyone else has a red face too. He sets out to find a reason for his strange affliction, and finds a friend instead - Roddy Rackett, who keeps on sneezing, even when he doesn't have a cold.
One day, his new best friend moves away and Martin Pebble is very sad. He goes on to make other friends, but doesn't have the same bond with any of them as he did with Roddy Rackett - the kind of friendship where you play games and make jokes and never feel bored. Years pass and Martin grows up, and moves to the big city. One day they meet again, on a crowded bus, and there's a lot of catching up to do. Soon they realize that some things never change: Martin still blushes, Roddy still sneezes, and the two of them are still the best of friends.
